Demonstration model of self inductance using relay

Using an electrical component like a relay, the phenomenon of self inductance caneasily be demonstrated to undergraduate students. By wiring simple electrical components like relay, neon bulb and a DC power supply, intermittent back electromotive force (emf) can be generated in the range from 60 to 100 volt. The glowing of neon bulb provides visual evidence for the generation of large back emf due to self inductance.

The Poor Man's Lamb Revisited? Assessing the State of LPFM at its 10th Anniversary

In this article the authors report the results of a year-long investigation into the state of the low-power FM (LPFM) industry on its 10th anniversary. They question whether LPFM stations give voice to the previously voiceless as envisioned or, as some research has indicated, benefit religious communities' efforts to expand their cultural reach. Using a 2-phase study, the authors first mapped the LPFM industry using Federal Communications Commission data and public information provided by LPFM stations and their owners and operators over the Internet. The authors then conducted interviews with dozens of LPFM operators across the United States. Results indicate that large interests, in particular religious organizations, have created de facto networks that rely on outside entities for the majority of programming, thus circumventing the spirit of the original policy.
